may exercise both executive and non-executive functions as set out
in the Council’s Constitution – Responsibility for
Functions. Appointments were made, as far as is possible, in

balance.
 
Alternatives
considered and rejected:
The Committee could
choose to delegate some of its functions to an officer in
consultation with the Chair and Vice-Chair of the Township.
